Conference

The ADHO organizes and sponsors an annual conference. The first joint conference was held in 1989 at the University of Toronto. That event was the 16th annual meeting of ALLC and the ninth annual meeting of the ACH-sponsored International Conference on Computers and the Humanities (ICCH). Since then, the joint conference has grown to include additional organizations, and it has been held in cities around the world:

ACH hosts a searchable XML collection of abstracts from previous conferences; if you are planning to submit an abstract for a future conference, you may want to consult this collection. Note that the collection does not yet contain all past abstracts, but additional years will be added from time to time. Also, be advised that more recent abstracts are probably a better guide to current practice than older ones might be.

Documents

The following documents describe in detail the way conference sites are selected, how to bid to host the conference, what you need to know as a local organizer of the conference, how the program committee is supposed to operate, how to chair a session, how to present at a session, and other matters. There is also a memo of understanding that is meant to be signed by local hosts and the ADHO Steering Committee. These documents were approved on June 18, 2011, by the ADHO Steering Committee.

The Chair of the ADHO Steering Committee writes: ADHO is sharply aware of the uncertain political situation in the US, especially in relation to the travel restrictions that were announced, and of the impact this may have on DH in general and all DH conferences to come.
